Small Town Living at Its Best

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall have everlasting life.

Tabletop Tuesday and White Wednesday

I got this lamp at a garage sale on Memorial Weekend. The lady was asking $25 for it.

I offered her $10. She said, "oh honey, it's practically new, would you give me $15? I said yes!

She said she paid over $100 for it about a year ago, and it had set in her guest room, not being used. She put the cutesy little bows on it, and the shades are obviously very well made.But, I have other plans for this lamp. Striped down, she looks MUCH better in my eyes. And after a couple of cans of paint ...........

She is now my "dream lamp"! And fits in with my other lamps in that room as you can see below!

About Me

I'm a small town girl, who grew to be a small town woman, and now is a small town "Meme" joined with my small town "Papa". We pretty much live our lives around our kids and grandkids, even though they live 6 hours away. We are in touch with them daily through the computer and would give everything in the world to be able to spend more time with them.

More About Me

I have collected milk glass in all forms, shapes and sizes since I was 12 years old when I got my first set of bedside lamps from Stanhome Products. I had to sell a case of "Degreaser" in order to earn them, and I wanted them SO BAD. I have had people make fun of me for years! I have over 100 pieces and use them every chance I get to decorate, serve, or just look at. Until I came upon Susan's blog at http://betweennapsontheporch.com/ I had never found anyone else who had the same connection with beautiful dishes or anything even close to my interests. I'm no longer the odd ball, I have found people I can relate to and am enjoying the blog world immensely! Thanks so much to all who might be out there who have inspired me to come out of the "closet"! Ha! Sandi
